Scouting The 2014-’15 Binghamton Senators: Coaching Staff
By Jeff Ulmer
Video Coach Tim Marks
Age: 29 (Jan 27, 1985)
Birthplace: Brownville, NY
Hgt/Wgt: 6’2 217 lbs
Acquired: Signed as a free agent in August of 2013.
Notables:
- After signing a deal with the Elmira Jackals in 2011, Marks suffered a serious back injury in his second game that put an end to his playing days.
- While out injured, helped out with coaching duties in Elmira. Hired as a video coach with Princeton University (2012-’13).
- Was a team-mate of Mark Borowiecki at Clarkson University (2008-’10). Played two seasons for the Norfolk Admirals (2009-’11).
- Marks was hired to fill the job of departing video coach Matt Meacham in 2013, who took the same position with the defending Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks.
Outlook: Getting through the players with game footage and what is expected while breaking down opponents as the new era of video assistants are here to stay as he returns for the second season with the B-Sens. Coaching gives him an edge at his young age as being that one guy players can relate to on what’s expected from them on the ice.
